At last the rebuild has started,and taking lots of photo’s has paid off. the bolts which hold the mower handle bar framework are different lengths and pictures helped a lot with getting the main handles the right way around. will not be putting engine in at the moment because the total combined weight will be to heavy for me to manage safely as I had to bring her into the shed on its front rollers in a side ways manner. A hot tip needed to make the front and rear rollers look a lot newer than they are at present. all ideas considered as they look shabby THANKS.

Thought I might as well get this clutch operating lever mounted as I am having to get parts down from my paint line to put up further components as the resto progresses. Looking at the end of the clutch coupling has reminded me that the original rubber sleeves which take up the initial torque of the engine at take off, have worn to such a degree that prompt attention is required. Will need three short lengths of say heater hose cut to 1 inch lengths to get things back to how it was back in the late 1950’s.

Handles on the mower when purchased where missing so,been the type to improvise I am making my own. Using the idea which is used on the Auto Culto Field Model L have bought some file handles and have split them long ways. Will then get some flat bar and mould the steel to the shape of the wood replacement handles. Giving me a special twist to the personalized hand grips. see photos below.
